[ More bullshit their communist Australian "government" have signed the former nominal sovereign Australian people into joining without any presentation or need to present to the laughable Australian electorate ]
Blue Dot Network participants – from the public, private and civil society sectors – believe in building and financing quality infrastructure projects. The Blue Dot Network aims to promote quality infrastructure investment that is open and inclusive, transparent, economically viable, Paris Agreement aligned, financially, environmentally and socially sustainable, and compliant with international standards, laws and regulations. To accomplish this, the Blue Dot Network will certify infrastructure projects against robust criteria and standards. The Blue Dot Network governing body will regularly review developments in standards to ensure inclusion of the foremost, robust, international standards.
What is the Blue Dot Network?
The Blue Dot Network is a mechanism to certify infrastructure projects that meet robust international quality standards. The United States, Japan, Australia, the United Kingdom, and Spain launched the Blue Dot Network as a multilateral effort to promote principles of sustainable infrastructure development around the world.

How will the Blue Dot Network operate?
The Blue Dot Network uses as its foundation robust infrastructure principles, standards, and best practices. The Blue Dot Network will audit and certify quality infrastructure projects that adhere to or go beyond these standards.
The United States, Australia, Japan and the United Kingdom are working with the OECD to develop a methodology and metrics for certification of infrastructure projects based on these principles. For more information, please visit www.oecd.org/corporate/oecd-and-the-blue-dot-network.htm.

How can the Blue Dot Network help address the climate crisis and advance the Paris Agreement?
Blue Dot Network will play a critical role in mobilizing and aligning infrastructure investment into projects that build resilience to climate change and are aligned with the pathways towards 2050 net-zero emissions needed to keep global temperature change of 1.5 degrees Celsius within reach. By taking a longer-term investment perspective and incorporating costs and benefits accrued over the entire infrastructure lifecycle, the Blue Dot Network will help host countries and investors realize the financial, economic, environmental, and social benefits of climate-smart infrastructure compared to alternatives that may appear cheaper in terms of up-front cost.
